Title
Security advisory: Pre-authentication RCE (default credentials + path traversal) in PulseNET Enterprise 6.0.3 (build 6975) (GE Vernova)
Summary
0day Rubbish Research Team is publicly disclosing a vulnerability in PulseNET Enterprise 6.0.3 (build 6975) (GE
Vernova). The research is published and a proof-of-concept is available.
Pre-authentication RCE (default credentials + path traversal) (CVSS 9.8, pre-authentication)
GE Vernova PulseNET Enterprise 6.0.3 is the network-management software electric utilities use to monitor and manage
the industrial wireless networks connecting substations and distribution automation. It ships with factory-default
admin/admin credentials with no forced password change, and the resource-management console builds the target file path
by raw string concatenation with no normalization. Because Tomcat runs as root with autoDeploy enabled, an attacker can
upload a JSP file into a new web application directory and execute arbitrary commands as root. Dynamically verified
with uid=0(root).
Impact: Full compromise of the power-network management host as root. The attacker can read the host filesystem,
execute arbitrary commands, and gain control of the system a utility relies on to manage communications with its grid.
